I hate it when the DWP is needlessly secretive with disabled people and fails to consult properly! If only you were to become Disabilities Minister Sir-how different things would be. 🤧
DWP has been needlessly secretive with disabled people and failed to consult properly. It must now rebuild trust and establish a positive relationship with disabled people, with openness in place of defensiveness. My speech in last week's debate: youtube.com/watch?v=SBvqIj…
Hep is Say No. it’s not just happening at Loch Lomond. It’s happening around Scotland. Where we are losing public land to private companies. It needs to stop!
"In #Gaza, malnutrition has become a tragedy and a widespread reality”. An UNRWA doctor describes how they now have malnourished children on a daily basis. “The situation has worsened dramatically since the siege started in March 2025. Families report surviving on just one meal…
Wuqi County, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, received 251 mm of rainfall in 12 hours, and the Beiluo River experienced the largest flood since 1994
“What happens if you build more housing, and institutional investors are buying up 20% of the new stock?” Ocampo said. “It’s like a never-ending cycle.” theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
"These findings send perhaps the most alarming message yet about the impact of climate change on our water resources" "The consequences of continued groundwater overuse could undermine food and water security for billions of people around the world."
Thanks to @DonnyFreePress @hharrisonjourno for covering issues with @millerhomesuk not following agreed construction plans at RoseHill. The failure of @MyDoncaster to respond to the story or take action to help residents speaks volumes. @CommunityPlann1 doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/people/ro…
There has been a staggering 150% surge in UK billionaire wealth since 2010: ▪️2010: £250 Billion ▪️2025: £620 Billion The Government should not be making cuts. It should be introducing a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest in our society.
The planet is losing freshwater at an unprecedented rate. Rising temperatures increase evaporation, while human overuse of groundwater shifts freshwater from land to oceans, leading to widespread continental drying.... newscientist.com/article/249000…

Absolutely shocking the ink wasn’t even dry on the first ballot (voted NO) when the landlord started planning the 2nd ballot - Juniper Crescent Camden to be demolished/rebuilt over 9 year period - the #BlahBlahBlah from Camden on #ClimateCrisis continues hamhigh.co.uk/news/25336542.…
This is not just a problem with the oceans, but with all habitats, including the soil. Very few people in our culture, see them and understand them as the living systems, ecosystems, they really are. We think we're so advanced, whilst actually our culture is the most stupid ever.
They make decisions based on how much money goes into a few people’s pockets - GREED not NEED - not environmental/ ecological harm - not impact on current & future generations - just plain old avarice!
So, what should be scientific (quality + quantity) evidence for destroying irreplaceable habitat to enable a development, will instead depend on a politician's whim. Ideology wins over democracy. @AlexaCulver @RosieP4 @FriendsMoss @NickyGeeson @DanicaPriest @Catherinewith11
Ah the Yimby fraternity could not care less about who owns the dwellings, oblivious to the impact they have - they think there is only one game in town! A blinkered and ignorant approach!
But, but, but, LOOK! NIMBY!!! theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
What a shambles! @HS2ltd put the route through here using out of date maps! They didn't know the estate was even there. Some of it hadn't even been built. Another shining example of #hs2 incompetence causing misery to anyone in it's way
Safeguarding on houses in the Shimmer Estate - put in place to protect land the government may use for the HS2 project - have been lifted, almost 3 years after the HS2 route through Mexborough was scrapped. We spoke to Sean Gibbons, former Doncaster Cllr, about the safeguarding:

1 think this is one of the great puzzles & one those of us with scientific knowledge of climate change struggle to understand, that governments can just continue to ignore the greatest threat to health, economies & world peace i.e. #ClimateChange.

USA is one of countries worst hit by Climate Disaster. Lower income countries have less financial buffers but everywhere is suffering & everywhere will suffer more. If High Income Governments do not care about their own citizens enough to REALLY CUT EMISSIONS what hope is there?
